Description

The Polly Straight Skirt is a straight-cut midi skirt with a normal rise. It has a zipper closure and a deep vent at the front with diagonal side pockets. The front and back are made of four pieces, which can be topstitched if desired. The waistband has a snap button fastening and belt loops. The skirt is lined above the knee, and the lining is attached to the skirt only at the waist and zip fly, so that it can be hand-washed separately from the shell if necessary.

Suggested Fabrics

Select a medium-weight fabric with approximately 5-10 % stretch. Select a stretch lining as well. You can also use faux leather or light leather. If you choose leather, check the "Shell, leather" chart to see how much leather you need. Leather is sold by square foot, but note that since the size and quality of the hides can vary a lot, the actual requirement might also differ from the one given in the chart.

This Named pattern comes in sizes EUR 32-46 (US 0–14/ UK 4–18). Remember that the fit of a garment also depends on the style of the garment and whether it is fitted or loose. Each pattern will come with instructions that include a chart of finished garment measurements for all sizes. All Named patterns are designed for a 172 cm tall woman. You can always make your garments shorter or longer by amending the pattern. Please refer to the pattern alterations section of the Named website for further information on how to alter a Named pattern.

If your measurements don’t fit one of these sizes you should go with either the closest chest or hip measurement, depending on the pattern in question. It is recommended that you choose the size with the closest chest measurement for tops, dresses and coats, and the closest hip measurement for pants and skirts.

Always remember to check the following measurements:

Chest measurement: Measure your chest across the fullest part, on top of your bra. Keep the measuring tape horizontally straight at the sides.

Waist measurement: Measure against your skin, around the narrowest section of your waist.

Hip measurement: Measure your hips at the widest part, on top of your underwear. Keep the measuring tape horizontally straight at the sides. Note that the widest part can also be the top of your thighs.
